Chapter 847: Benevolent Father And Filial Son (2)

After a while, Su Long sighed and said, "Is that kid really doing well?"

"Yes. He's doing pretty well."

"How's his injuries?"

"That's nothing to worry about."

After a short silence, Su Long asked, "Can he take me away? Or should I ask if I'll bring him any trouble staying here? For example, will some people use me as hostage?"

Su Yu thought about it and shook his head, "It will be fine for now. Brother Su's relationship with the Xia Family has yet to deteriorate to the lowest point. His relationship with Prefect Xia's son is quite good as well. Of course, if you continue staying here when chaos descends upon the Xia Family, things might get dangerous."

"Chaos in Xia Family?" Chen Long couldn't help but ask, "Master Cui, what do you mean by that?"

Chaos in Xia Family?

Su Yu calmly said, "I’m not trying to hint at something. Prefect Xia Longwu is trying to affirm his dao. And that naturally comes with its troubles. You must know this as well. In that case, it is only a matter of time before the Xia Family sinks into chaos."

Chen Long sank into silence.

That was true. Everyone had merely been unwilling to think about it. He confidently declared, "The prefect will succeed! Great Xia King is also still around. The Xia Family will be fine!"

Su Yu did not argue, but Su Long did keep that in mind. Things might get troublesome during Xia Longwu's dao affirmation. If he was still here at that time, he might cause some trouble for his son.

Su Long decided that there was a more pressing matter. He asked, "Why didn't he tell me before getting himself two wives?"

"He didn't!"

Su Yu was feeling very aggrieved. When did he get married?

Su Long gloomily said, "He even created something like Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art. He used the surname of those two for a cultivation method so powerful. Why bother denying?"

Su Yu helplessly explained, "I heard from Brother Su that he used that name because his senior sister and the second young miss of Wu Family contributed a lot during the research."

"..."

Father and son continued the question and answer session. Beside Su Long, Chen Long had an odd look in his eyes. Holy shit! Just what was going on here?

Why was Master Cui acting as obedient as his big brother's son? Why was Master Cui answering every single question? Wasn't this supposed to be an arrogant expert weaponsmith? Back during their first meeting, this Master Cui was still incomparably arrogant.

Chen Long was losing his mind. He was confused. But he also had a slight guess of a possibility in his mind. But he didn't dare to believe that. Impossible!

This was a pseudo earth weaponsmith and a Cloudbreach. At thirty-five, this person could be considered a freak. But if this person was nineteen instead...he would be more than a freak. He would be a monster. A super monster.

Chen Long's mind was in a mess.

Su Yu's mind was also in a mess. What was his father doing? Why was he asking all these stupid questions?

Suddenly, Su Long asked, "Why are you here?"

"To see some people and do something."

Su Long frowned, "Foolish! Running around during times like this is the same as courting death!"

"Things aren't that dangerous."

"Not that dangerous? If that was true, would he lack the courage to even meet his father?"

Suddenly, Su Long frowned, "Is he being monitored?"

He was alarmed. Would he expose his son by saying all that?

However, Su Yu wasn't too worried. He could notice any Sunmoon trying to spy on him. Sure, he wasn't able to notice the spying of Invincibles, but it wasn't like he could do anything about it even if he noticed.

He was only worried about Chen Long. Otherwise, he would have greeted his father with his real identity long ago. Then again, after all that, his identity was as good as exposed before Chen Long. His father sure had a lot of trust in Chen Long.

After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "No. I'm only worried...about...uhm...isn't this too risky?"

Su Long understood what his son was trying to say. He looked at Chen Long and said, "Little Chen, did Great Xia send you to monitor me?"

"..."

Chen Long was left speechless. He said, "Big Brother, I went looking for you back before my nephew even started causing all those troubles. Are you saying that I'm a prophet? Or are you saying that the Xia Family is capable of seeing the future?"

"True." Su Long laughed, "Little Chen, am I still your big brother?"

"Of course."

"If that's true, I want you to scold the Xia Family verbally. Call them all bastards."

"..."

That was way too ruthless.

Chen Long was so stressed his entire face turned red. After a long while, he said, "Big Brother, don't be like that. I owe a lot to the prefect and Xia Family. I can't do something like this. You are you, and the Xia Family is the Xia Family. One is my big brother while the other is my benefactor. Please don't make things difficult for me, Big Brother."

Su Long snorted and said, "Who's your benefactor? Back then, I idolized the prefect as well. But subsequently, they caused my son to run away from his homeland during the new year. From then on, they have been an eyesore for me."

Chen Long nodded helplessly, "Yes. In regards to that, the Xia Family was at fault."

He didn't want to comment on all the other issues. He looked at Cui Lang again. At this moment, he finally understood what was going on. He was extremely shocked. So it was him!

Su Yu!

This was too much of a surprise. Cui Lang was actually Su Yu! That nineteen years old nephew of his was actually a Cloudbreach, a pseudo earth weaponsmith, a researcher, an honorary elder, the successor of the multiple character faction, the root of some of the troubles in Great Xia, and also the cause of the deaths of several Sunmoons.

What a crazy kid. He was only nineteen! How did his big brother produce a son like this? Was there a mistake somewhere?

Su Yu's identity had yet to be fully exposed, but it was as good as fully exposed. Su Long ignored Chen Long and beckoned, "Come here."

Su Yu stood up and walked over.

"Crouch."

Su Yu was feeling very helpless. Why did he feel like he was a dog being trained?

He could only helplessly crouch down.

Pa!

A slap landed on his head as Su Long said, "I told you to study hard, not run around causing so much trouble. Have you ever listened to me?"

Su Yu's forehead was swollen, but he said nothing. Sure, he could slap his father to death with one hit, but--cough, cough. He should keep such thoughts out of his mind.

"I want to be obedient as well, but what can I do if some people insist on bullying me?"

"Where's your brain? Weren't you good at borrowing the strength of others to do your bidding? Weren't you good at hiding in the background? Why are you standing at the very front now?"

Su Yu gloomily said, "That was what I did. Since I couldn't borrow the strength of Great Xia, I had to borrow some outside strength. If I don't stand in front, who would be willing to help me with my puny cultivation? I had no choice but to give out some benefits to gain some assistance."

Su Long nodded. He helplessly said, "It's that damn Liu Wenyan. Damn him! What the fuck did he do? If I knew he was such a troublemaker, I wouldn't have looked for him back then. I bought him multiple meals and several bottles of expensive liquor to get him to accept you as a student. What a waste."

He was feeling immense regret. He shouldn't have done all that for a bastard like Liu Wenyan.

Su Yu exclaimed in surprise, "You did all that? When? Why wasn't I aware?"

"What a stupid question." Su Long said, "Would he be so kind to you without all those benefits? Damn it. If I knew he would be such a troublesome individual, I would have given him nothing. In fact, I would take the initiative to chase him away even if he was the one to visit us."

Su Yu rolled his eyes. His father wasn't Teacher Liu's match. This old man should stop bluffing. Meanwhile, Chen Long was staring at the ceiling silently, pretending he didn't exist. He had yet to recover from his shock.

Alas, Su Yu decided to involve him in the conversation. "When did you get a Mountainsea as your little brother?"

Su Long had a gloomy look as he said, "How am I supposed to know that? After I left the army, this fellow became the new team leader. He brought our brothers around and fought numerous battles. By a stroke of luck, he killed a Skysoar and received a heavenly reward. That was the start of the rapid rise of him and the brothers under him. Eventually, they all entered the Cloudbreach and Mountainsea Realms. I would have stayed in the army if I knew that would happen."

"Heavenly reward?"

Su Yu was surprised. Incredible. How did they manage to kill a Skysoar?

Chen Long could no longer pretend he didn't exist. He gloomily said, "A Skysoar was fighting someone else. He ended up seriously injured. I brought our brothers over and killed him after great effort. We even lost a few brothers during the process. Then, the heavenly laws rewarded us with a decent amount of heavenly source qi. We didn't even know what that was. We merely absorbed it like it was regular source qi. Not long after, I entered the Skysoar Realm."

It was that simple. With his newly gained strength, he was able to lead even more soldiers. With a bigger team, he was able to kill more enemies for more rewards. In that manner, he snowballed into the Mountainsea Realm.

Of course, there was no need mention everything in detail. After all, he had discovered that he was nothing compared to Su Yu. So what if he was a Mountainsea?

Wasn't he still here fawning on this so-called Master Cui? Wasn't he still here bending over obediently?

But after all the effort he put into fawning over this fellow, they were telling him that this was Su Yu? He was still having a hard time processing that. He wanted to just shut down and stop thinking.

Su Long smiled and said, "Don't worry. This guy is quite reliable. Before my son got famous, I slapped this guy a few times without thinking about it. And he didn't even do anything about it even though he was already a Mountainsea. So I trust him."

"..."

Chen Long said nothing. So his big brother knew that? The way his big brother was acting, he almost thought his big brother was completely unaware of his loyalty toward his brothers.

Su Yu nodded, "How are you doing here?"

"Not bad. I am eating and sleeping well. But it's a pity I can't go to the frontlines anymore. The myriad races would go crazy if they saw me. Did you rob their ancestral tombs or something for them to hate you that much?"

"No. But I will do that one day." Su Yu grinned, "Our old house is still there, but some people have broken into it. I killed a few of them, but I stopped at that since things have gotten very messy. It's fine. I'm now rich. I have a research center worth hundreds of thousands of merit points in Great Ming. Including everything else I have, I'm worth millions of merit points. Am I amazing?"

Su Long thought about it and said, "Even if the house isn't that expensive, it is still worth something. It's mine. I still have the deeds for it. Even if we blow it up or something, we won't be giving it to others."

"Of course. I won't agree to that as well."

"How about that two wives of yours?"

"I don’t have any wives. They're my friends."

"Really?"

"Yeah..."

Pa!
